<div>That was the conclusion I came to after a more detailed

Munros and thought that was</div>

are arbitrary lists and</div>
<div>that you or I could come up with a list of Kevins or
Pauls. Even if no more</div>

add kevins=yes and</div>
<div>pauls=yes to various peaks scattered around the world. <br>

<p>Yes, Munros are a somewhat arbitrary list. There is no specific
definition of prominence, and what counts as a separate mountain.
There is also a list of "Munro Tops" for the minor summits.<br>
</p>
<p>But the official Munro list is now maintained by the Scottish
Mountaineering Club. And the list has been around for over 120
years, with hundreds of books, websites and apps published about
them, and even a TV show. It is rather different to you just
making up a list of summits.<br>
</p>
<p>Though maybe there are issues with some of the more obscure hill
lists, which ones are worth adding to OSM. And possible copyright
issues. If someone makes up a list to try and sell a book, is that
list copyright, and can it be added to OSM?</p>
